The arrest marks a quick progression in the police investigation - on Sunday afternoon, the force in Aarau said it had no leads on the perpetrator and was unsure whether it was one person or several. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni previously said she was confident Swiss authorities would "shed full light on what happened and find anyone responsible".

Aarau, home to approximately 23,000 people, is less than 40km from the border with Germany, where local media reported police were supporting Swiss forces. "The investigation into the exact sequence of events, the background and the possible motive is currently under way," police said in a statement.

Italy's foreign ministry said in a statement that it was sending officials to Zurich "to closely follow the investigation". He said he was told to hide by a man and a woman, the latter of whom was shot.
